 NBA draft last night, and the Hornets select Tejan Solan from France, the sixth overall pick in the NBA draft. 6'9 forward, who will not turn 19 until August, averaged just under 10 points per game last season. First two players from the draft also come from France, with Atlanta taking Zachary Richachet and Washington taking Alex Saar. National champion UConn had Stephon Castle taken fourth by San Antonio, Donovan Klingin seventh by Portland overall. Hickory native Rob Dillingham, who played at Kentucky, ends up with the Minnesota Timberwolves at number eight overall.
